Describe facilitated diffusion of ions through the channel proteins

Biology
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Facilitated diffusion is usually significant to pass the ions across the hydrophobic layer of the plasma membrane. Transmembrane integral protein and careers proteins provide the channels that allow the ion to pass across the membrane.  When an ion bind to their active site on the protein (note that the proteins are very selective), the protein changes conformation. It is this change in conformation opens up the channel that allows the ions to be passed across the membrane. When the ions are released inside of the cell, the protein resumes normal shape (and the channel also closes) and the active site becomes available again or another ion.

Art [367]

Fasciae are layers of connective tissue, mainly collagen, situated under the skin, which closes, supports, and separates muscles and other structures. Fasciae are grouped by their anatomical location, layer (as visceral fascia, superficial fascia, and deep fascia), or by their functions. Fasciae reduces friction and provide an adjustable covering for nerves and blood vessels as they move through muscles.
